That cannot be said as it has not yet been declassified. However a reasonable estimate is somewhere between $250,000 and $1,000,000 for each custom hand assembled bomb.
Total cost of the entire Manhattan Project has been declassified. It was about $2,000,000,000 however the vast majority of this was spent on building the industrial infrastructure needed to prepare materials and make bomb components.

How did the nuclear bomb solve Americans problems in world war 2?
it ended the war quickly, at low cost in terms of both money and lives lost on both sides.
How much did cost in 1945?
It's recorded that in 1945 a gallon of gas cost a whole 21 cents a gallon. Bread was only 9 cents a loaf.
How much did the B-29 cost?
cost $750,000 USD each 1945 The "A Project" developed the XB-15, B-17, B-24 and B-29 cost $2.8 billion USD in 1945
How much did a P-51 fighter cost?
$50,985 USD in 1945
Is the nuclear bomb bigger than the atomic bomb?
The terms atomic bomb and nuclear bomb are interchangeable as both obtain their energy from the atomic nucleus. So neither is bigger.There are two processes to get the energy for a bomb out of the atomic nucleus:fission, the breaking up of large nuclei into smaller onesfusion, the joining of small nuclei together into larger ones.Pure fission bombs have a practical yield limit between 500 KTons and 1 MTon because of criticality limits: too much fuel in the bomb will cause it to "predetonate" and melt before it can be delivered to a target. Fusion bombs do not have this limit: you can put as much fuel as you want to get as high a yield as you might like.However no modern nuclear weapon is pure fission or pure fusion, the processes are mixed in a variety of ways to get the exact effects desired, in the package size desired, at the production cost desired. Therefore some fission bombs are higher yield than some fusion bombs and vice versa.
When was the first nuclear bomb made?
There are records of the Mongols using bombs against the Japanese as early as 1281 AD. The Chinese are commonly credited with the invention of the first form of gunpowder, Black Powder, but there is no definitive date or creditation for that.
How much does one nuclear bomb cost taxpayer?
40 bucks
How much do nukes cost?
The Manhatten Project cost $2 Billion each A-bomb cost $30,000 in 1945
How much would it cost today to build an atomic bomb today like the one US dropped on Japan?
The first atomic bombs cost billions because they had to learn how to gather uranium and plutonium into a form that was good enough for a bomb and they had to design the bomb. Now a nuclear missile cost would be probably about a million or more. The cost of the newer missile is in the housing and maintenance of the missile.
How much does it cost to launch a nuclear bomb or missile?
up to 10mill and even up to 1billion
How much is the cost of Nuclear Bomb which is used on Second World War?
Construction of the infrastructure to build them cost $2,000,000,000 but the incremental cost per bomb was much less, I doubt they cost a million a piece and the cost would have dropped with increased production.
How much did a V-1 bomb cost?
$600 or RM 1500 The development cost $200 million or RM 500 million in 1945
Why did Eisenhower favor the development of nuclear weapons such as the hydrogen bomb?
He believed that developing nuclear weapons instead of preparing for conventional war was more cost-efficient.
How much was the first nuclear bomb that costed the US?
It is not possible to say exactly how much the first nuclear bombs cost. The Manhattan Project cost $2,000,000,000; but most of that was to build the industrial infrastructure needed to enrich uranium, produce plutonium, fabricate bomb parts, and deliver the bomb to the target. Once setup the incremental cost per bomb produced is relatively small.I estimate that the Trinity Gadget MK-III, Hiroshima Little Boy MK-I, and Nagasaki Fat Man MK-III bombs cost well under$1,000,000 each.We had in production or scheduled for production a total of 23 nuclear bombs to be dropped on Japan in 1945 should she fail to surrender, only the first two of these were used.August three bombs, 1 MK-I & 2 MK-IIISeptember three bombs, 3 MK-IIIOctober three bombs, 3 MK-IIINovember seven bombs, 7 modified MK-III using new composite plutonium/uranium coreDecember seven bombs, 7 modified MK-III using new composite plutonium/uranium core
When did Truman agree with the atomic bomb?
The first atomic bomb, produced by the ultrasecret Manhattan Project at a cost of $2 billion, exploded in the desert near Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. The results were recorded and Truman was sure that such force will end Japan's capacity to make war.
Where in Tennessee was the first nuclear bomb made?
Nowhere. The first atomic bomb was made in Los Alamos, New Mexico. However uranium was enriched in several large plants at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. This site was selected by the Manhattan Project due to the available of low cost electricity from the Tennessee Valley Authority, which was needed to operate the thousands of pumps in the Gaseous Diffusion enrichment process. This uranium was used in the Little Boy bomb (the second atomic bomb detonated, the first atomic bomb used in combat) and at low enrichment levels in the Hanford plutonium production reactor's fuel.
What was the cost of damages during the bombing of hiroshima?
It was difficult to determine the cost of the damages from the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima because on September 17, 1945, Hiroshima was struck by the Makurazaki Typhoon which further damaged Hiroshima soon after the atom bomb damaged the city. The typhoon was estimated to do more monetary damage than the bomb to the physical part of the city.
